Featured in Outside Magazine's Buyers Guide as a top product for 2013. Suited for swift, technical ascents where weight is critical, this new ultra-lightweight hard shell provides extreme breathability with waterproof, windproof protection. New GORE-TEX® Active Shell fabric provides a 30% lighter (and thinner) GORE-TEX® membrane than ever before for a streamlined three-layer construction. Laminated with the backer directly into the GORE-TEX® membrane, this hard shell provides extreme breathability and excellent next to skin comfort.

GORE-TEX® Active Shell: Provides extreme breathability along with durable waterproof and windproof protection for all-weather, high-aerobic activities. It combines a lighter, thinner GORE-TEX® membrane, with fine denier performance textiles to deliver a streamlined three-layer construction. New for Spring ‘12, this brings a never-before-seen level of comfort performance to waterproof apparel.

GORE-TEX® Paclite®: Combining extreme breathability and durable wind and waterproof protection with minimum weight and pack volume, GORE-TEX® Paclite® shells use a specific membrane with a protective internal layer made of an oil-hating/carbon hybrid – eliminating the need for a separate lining, making this lighter, smaller, and easier to pack away.

GORE-TEX® Performance Shell: Specifically engineered to form an impenetrable barrier against wind and water while maintaining breathability, this waterproof material uses a two-layer construction for a lighter, softer feel – and in a three-layer construction for a more heavy-duty alternative.
